Gladys
Conrad gave birth to her first child on November 29, 1946, and named
her Jan. She and her husband Leo remarked at how Jan resembled the
image of the baby in the sketch below. A friend of Leo's had drawn
the baby picture and given it to the couple as a wedding gift. The
artist told the couple that their children would resemble the baby
in the drawing.
